Why are you going off on some rant about how to win the election? What you're saying is correct about how to approach the election and that's not the subject of this post or this conversation.
Trump and the majority of his supporters are a bunch of god-damned racists. Welcome to reality.
You directly quoted and replied to a sentence referencing Trump's presidential campaign. It is perfectly reasonable for people to assume you are interested in discussing the upcoming presidential election.
No, I was discussing the racism. No need to change the subject.
Do you even read the usernames of the people you reply to?
No. Do you always jump in and answer questions for other people without identifying that you're doing that? I asked millie why they were going off on a rant. Nobody asked you. You're welcome to participate anyway, but you might want to make it clear that's what's going on.
They weren't "going off on a rant", though. They were responding to something you said and it was a pretty good reply too with a lot of detail and thought put into it. If you didn't want to discuss the election, you shouldn't have quoted a sentence about the election. Getting all snide and dismissive after the fact is very strange behaviour on your part.
I quoted about the racism. The election was incidental and I didn't discuss that part at all, but did discuss the racism.
And now, you're changing the subject. Is it so hard to stay on subject? What is your objective here? Distraction from the original topic? What are your thoughts on the racism? I really don't care to hear you blather on about anything else.
I don't know why you keep saying this. Do you still think I'm someone else you replied to earlier?
You didn't respond to what I wrote and instead went off on a tangent. Try to stay focused. Try to read for context.
What are your thoughts on the racism?
